Has anyone ever watched this when first released on VHS? I have always heard about it and seems pretty good but never watched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I watched this some time ago. Not really essential in terms of a documentary but still fucking hilarious at some points, especially the Interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have watched American Hardcore a few times already. It's really good way to present how hardcore developed and the main bands that represent the genre. It could have expanded a bit more on NYHC and Midwest but oh well...

adammuzzy Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 nyhc in general is shitty. judge sucks, madball sucks, youth of today sucks etc. the only nyhc band i like is the 'mags. and american hardcore is just a bunch of 40 year old dudes complaining about how hardcore died a long time ago even though most of the best hardcore bands were from 1995-now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 man, there's nothing worse than 40 year old dudes complaining. Very few "hardcore" dudes grew up to be anything respectable. It's either they became A&R guys or otherwise completely sold out, grew up whining about how great shit used to be, or never grew up at all. Not a lot of dudes in punk rock age with grace, I've noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genericinsight Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I like a lot of the old hardcore bands and dug American Hardcore, but yeah. It irks me when the older dudes talk as if hardcore doesn't exist anymore. They see what's mainstream now and don't realize that there's still very much an "underground scene". It's somewhat bothersome. Then again, if they were still in bands that were actively touring they would likely realize otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think people's opinion of the best era for hardcore has alot to do with what you were listening to from your teens to mid twenties. I think most people who listen to hardcore would say that time in their life was the best time for hardcore. That is usually the age when people are introduced to the music and most active in the scene. As I get older and don't go to as many shows there are fewer and fewer new hardcore bands that interest me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a lot of the really recent bands that have just been coming out, a lot of them I'm more or less pretty eh on. The currently active hardcore I still listen to are generally the bands I got into from the 90's-early 2000's, which was when I started getting more into the music. There's always exceptions of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Some good points. I was introduced to hardcore back in the late 80's/early 90's...and I am still into a lot of bands from that time. To me, there was more uniqueness in the music and styles. Nowadays, I have been finding less and less to get me interested in any of the newer bands. It seems as though they all sound the same and this is boring to me. I do recognize that there are some great new bands out there...but as I get older and start losing a lot of my teen angst...I look for other music that is exciting and new...and this means going outside the hardcore genre and exploring other music styles...
